My Best Friend owns a large Transmision shop and works on many hi-end German cars. He recomemded buying the fluid from the dealer to stay with the same brand. (to avoid mixing types/brands of ATF)
Also good friends with the service manager at the local dealership.
When we were looking at our A6 4.2 we took it there to have them look it over for potential problems. He kind of pulled me aside and said he would strongly advise changing the trans. fluid.

Thanks...think I'm going to stick with OEM though. I found the correct fluid for our tiptronic (G055005A2 or G060162A2) depending on transmission type. ECS tuning & bluaparts sell it among others. Didn't see any kits though so looked up the parts on audiwholesaleparts/ genuineaudiparts. This is what I've come up with so far as far as cost:
Fluid (G055005A2/G060162A2)- 35-50 x 10 = 350-500
Filler tool-14
Pan gasket- 35
Filter- 70
Filter gasket-22
Drain plug washer- 2
Total-493.00-643.00
Installation doesn't appear that difficult. Bentley is saying that you have to remove the crossbar under the pan, a section of exhaust, drain, take the pan off, clean pan & magnets, replace filter and pan gasket, and then just have to install the pan torx screws in the correct sequence and torque them to the right specs. Filling seems easy enough...just have to get the tranny at the right temp for the top off. Gonna go ahead and order and give it go.

Did you or anybody ever get around to doing this yet? I need some more work to do and was looking to see if this job sucks or not. ;-)

No I haven't had the time...not sure if I even want to bother at this point but it doesn't seem to hard of a process. The biggest challenge is picking the correct fluid and topping off at the right temp.
Post up if you decide tackle it.

From My Mechanic at Dealership - TRUSTED
An ATF change for my 06 4.2 runs about 920. There are 9 quarts required of this part number:
G060162A2 - this is an update to the original fluid that was in the 05 4.2 tranny and he stated that it IS better.
In terms of the repair - - and remember that I trust him implicitly - If you do it correctly - you need to change the fluid 3 times - empty - let it drip overnight - run it “fluidless” a bit to heat it up - fill - empty a few times then fill it with the final batch and replace filter and other things - seal it up.
its a 3 hour operation counting all the fills and dumps. hence the bucks.
Hope that gives you all a bit of information on the procedure.

I have changed my gearbox oil. Car was on 75k miles/120k km. My car is A6 Avant 3.0 TDI with green oil. Changed it at audi dealer. So far i do not have any issues after 10k km. Only issues i had was when coming to a stop the gearbox was jerking. Update of gearbox soft fixed the issue.

Has anyone out there done this yet? I'm going to do mine next weekend and can take pic's. Down side is when you take the pan off I'm guessing you will only loose 3 quarts(liters), how do you get the rest out? I guess I have to find out.;-}
